More War Orphans Adopted.
During the Lenten lesson Omaha
society people are carrying on the
highly appropriate work of charity.
War orphans which were adopted by
many last year are Having their sup
nort renewed at this time, and Ma
dame Borglum is rejoicing in the
splendid list of additions to the sup
porters of these needy children. About
$7o will support a rrencn war orpnan
for two years when added to the
amount which the government allows
lo each one that is about 10 cents a
day. This keeps them practically self
supporting and removes the necessity
of sending them to asylums of vari-
ous kinds.
A year ago Mr. and Mrs. Edgar H.
Scott adopted a war orphan in the
name of their eldest daughter. This
morning two more subscriptions were
sent to Madame Borglum in the
names of Margaret Scott and Martha
Hunter Scott, which makes three war
orphans who are being protected by
three little Omaha girls.
Mrs. John R. Kingwalt is. another
addition to the list of foster parents,
as are also Miss Gertrude and Dor-
. othy Young, Miss Emily Hoagland,
Miss' Eleanor Smith, Miss Ruth Puf-1
(ington and Miss Virginia Hanscom
of New York, who frequently visits
her niece, Mrs. John L. Kennedy.
Letters and photographs are con
stantly being received from the chil
dren) which deepen the interest which
Omaha people feel in these helpless
little ones
Mrs. E. S. Westbrook has quite
a family of little foreign children
whom she has adopted recently.
Among them are three little Belgian
girls and a little French babe 2 years
old, whose mother is a widow, the
father having been killed in the war.
The child's name is Francoise Violant
and is luckier than she now realizes
in having so generous a foster mother,
for besides the money sent to her
tlwough Life she receives many per
sonal gifts from Mrs. Westbrook. To
day she is being sent a draft which
it is hoped will reach her in time for
an Easter gift. Her own French
mother has written several times to
exnress her appreciation for all that
her adopted mother in Omaha is do
ing for her. The last letter was. re
ceived only two1 days ago and was
written February 13.
The little Belgian children receive
money for their support through the
Literary Digest. , , ,

The other day I met the most pe
culiar man I ever met in Omaha. I
sat down beside him on a street car.,
soon we were in conversation about
the high cost of living. Of course,
I expected he would arraign the food
barons. But he did not. This is what
he said: '
"People talk about the high cost
of living. But is it really unduly
high? Merchants are paying higher
wages and freight rates and renta are
higher. Naturally they must get more
for their goods. We should not com
plain. Does Not Complain.
" "I have a position paying $80 a
month. 1 have been at that place
thirty years. My employer has made
perhaps half a million dollars. He
lives in a splendid home and has two
big cars. Still, why should 1 com
plain? He has assumed all the risks
of the business, it is only right that
he should take the profits just as he
would have had to shoulder the losses
if there had been any."
1 tried him on politics.
"Personally 1 am a republican," he
said. "But Wilson is a good man. Mo
doubt he is doing just as well as pos
sible. There 'are many circumstances,
perhaps, of which we don't know that
make him take certain actions which
to us do not seem wise."
The car was late and I remarked
about that.
"It has always been a wonder to
me," 'said this marvelous- man, "that
they can keep the cars moving so
nearly on schedule. When one con.
aiders the traffic in the streets and the
vicissitudes of weather and slioDerv
rails at times it is remarkable that
the cars keep running so regularly
and with so tew accidents.
' Try Him on Weather.
Miserable weather we're havintr."
I remarked. "Hot one day and then
freezing cold.
Well, he said with a smile, some
days must be dark and dreary.' I think
it would be wretched to have one
day just like another. We would get
tired ot sunshine every day just as
we would ot rain every day. Variety
is the spice of life and the weather
turnishes it. It is a variety that the
poorest can enjoy as well as the rich
est, and
'Hello, he suddenly cried. "I have
been caViied several blocks past my
street. Well, it's a bracing day. The
walk win do me good.
And this remarkable optimist sot
on.
A man in the 1 next seat turned
around and asked, "What kind of a
nut is that? (jee. satisfied with the
administration and the cost of living
and this weather? He could get a job
in a museum.
"He doesn t need a job In a mu
seum," I replied. "He has a good job
